GPTZero flags every single section of this beyond the introduction as 100% likely to be AI-generated.

Looking for recommendations for discussion forums that aren't filled with these slop posts, anyone have any suggestions?

Can I just say, I'm getting really sick of these LLM-generated posts clogging up this site?

GPTZero gives this a 95% chance of being entirely AI-generated. (5% human-AI mix, and 0% completely original.)

But I could tell you that just by using my eyes, the tells are so obvious. "The myth / The reality, etc."

If I wanted to know what ChatGPT had to say about something, I would ask ChatGPT. That's not what I come here for, and I think the same applies to most others.

Here's an idea for all you entrepreneur types: devise a privacy-preserving, local-running browser extension for scanning all content that a user encounters in their browser - and changing the browser extension icon to warn of an AI generated article or social media post or whatever. So that I do not have to waste a further second interacting with it. I would genuinely pay a hefty subscription fee for such a service at this point, provided it worked well.

Many of the author's rebuttals hinge on the assumption that everyone in an organisation is acting in its interest first - and not their own, often conflicting, self-interest. As such, they are not particularly convincing.

Large organisations absolutely do, as a function of their scale, produce pockets where slackers and incompetents can hide. They'll surround themselves with a web of process, pointless meetings, and substance-free buzzword-heavy documentation/presentations to disguise this fact. Others may become ensnared in this web, and will rightly express the criticisms that the author is attempting to debunk.

Update: Couldn't tune it to my liking. I didn't like having to swipe halfway across the trackpad before a gesture would engage. Went back to macOS.

One day, Linux. Hopefully. But not today.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've been playing around with Niri for the past hour and I have to say there's a lot here that I like. I'm still going to need to figure out how to adjust the trackpad gesture sensitivity a bit (which doesn't seem especially straightforward to do) - but this is considerably more buttery than anything I've experienced before on Linux

People can have different preferred input devices to others. It doesn't make them amateurs.

My gripes with the trackpad are less to do with window management and are more to do with the graphical components of my job.

Please explain to me how I'm supposed to design graphics in Inkscape using only the keyboard? Or create presentations in LibreOffice Impress using only the keyboard? I don't spend the entirety of my time in a text editor.

Consider these "amateur" tasks all you like, most organisations value them and I need to be able to undertake them without frustration. MacOS won't fight me in these contexts. Linux will.

For both ideological and practical reasons, I'd love to switch. If I were a desktop computing person, I'd already have done so years ago.

Alas, I exclusively use laptops - as I work a great deal while travelling.

I do not wish to have to carry around a mouse with me wherever I go with my portable computer.

If any Linux distro manages to replicate even 80% of the smoothness and functionality of a Mac trackpad experience, I'll switch. I have yet to find one, however (and yes, I've tried all the Asahi variants - they don't come close).
